Maybe it's just me, but the standard spec in my Cupra ('18 model) seems odd, but maybe that's just Seat's approach?
For example, it has electrically-folding mirrors as standard. It's something I really like, and use every day, but one that I would (and have in the past) been willing to pay for as an option. Likewise rear USB ports for the kids – I would have been happy to pay for those in another car!
But the flipside is that something as basic as gas struts for the bonnet are not included!!! WTF? These have been basic spec on all cars for decades!!
And I was rummaging around like an idiot looking for the bonnet release lever yesterday, and just could not find it. I thought I must be missing something really obvious. I even then reverted to the manual, which said it's in the driver footwell. Is it? No, it's in the passenger footwell!!! Presumably 'cos LHD is their biggest market they can't be bothered to move it to the right for RHD cars. Really? Odd. (even the manual, as I say, says it's in the drivers side – again, a LHD manual?).
Overall just seems odd. Yes, I'm grateful for the additional spec, but just seems strange re some of the things they DON'T provide.
Or is it just me?
